The Magic of Miso Butter
Miso butter is a versatile condiment that adds a depth of savory flavor to a variety of dishes. Miso, a fermented soybean paste, is a staple in Japanese cuisine, and its umami-richness pairs beautifully with the richness of butter.
A Fusion of Flavors
This recipe combines the traditional Japanese ingredient of miso with the classic technique of roasting vegetables. The result is a dish that is both familiar and exciting, offering a unique and delicious way to enjoy your favorite vegetables.
Roasting Technique
Roasting vegetables at high heat caramelizes their natural sugars, enhancing their sweetness and creating a slightly crispy exterior. The miso butter further enhances this process, adding a savory-sweet glaze that is simply irresistible.
